I'm not sure what advice to give you - it depends what topic the question is about.

Don't sweat them too much. I never got 1 single SATA right before I took NCLEX. Majority of my test was SATA so I was 100% sure I had failed. To my suprise I passed. When answering SATA questions think of it as True/False. So it asks a question or gives a statement and then you check all that apply. So each of the responses is either true ( it applies ) or false ( it does not apply ). Also helps to have answers in your head before reading what's available. Makes some of the selections/choices easier to eliminate or choose from. I hope this answered your question.

That's the same advice they gave us in our NCLEX prep course. Treat every option as its own T/F question. Once you do that, they're a lot less intimidating.

This is great, I reviewed the Saunders quizzes using this approach to the SATA questions and did much better, whether its because I actually knew the information or because its an approach that works who knows, but I am quite happy with this tip, thank you.

Yeah I would focus more on prioritizing, delegation, and fine tuning of the diff. diseases. I only had one sata question and one math question.
